This member posted a joke, that had the exact bearing of a spam, and for that the post and the account removed...
I think that in this case it would be appropriate to reopen the account...

Ironically, it was spam. Who knew? Oh wait, those of us who voted to have it closed in the first place.

Just posted a small tip and saw this:

It seems I was credited twice for editing the tip (I'm not sure why even once, but definitely not twice)...

I'm having problems getting the site to load in FF at work this morning (it's still working in IE). Looking at the firebug console the problem appears to be that the css isn't downloading (which's odd since a number of icons/etc did download from your CDN). In cases like this, my first suspect is generally a snafu with work's firewall crapplication, but I figured I'd ask here too. (You're less likely to throw your hands up, say "works on my machine, do you want us to try reformatting yours and giving you a clean profile in the hope that that fixes it" anyway. Elephanting sunshines!)

Works on my machine!
Actually we've had a number of reports that cachefly isn't crash hot in terms of a CDN. We switched to them from AWS because AWS was slow as a slow thing. I guess we need to keep working our way up the CDN line. It's only money, right?

Until today, cachefly was working infinitely better for me in the office than what you were using a year ago.

Back in the office today and it's suddenly decided to work again. Maybe works failwall just doesn't like the number 160208... 
Some daysweeks it's just not worth chewing through the restraints.

Do you have the HTTPS Everywhere plugin installed, by any chance? That seems to be the cause of the CSS not loading, at least on my machine. 
If you have, click on the toolbar icon and click the green "Cachefly (partial)" item under the "Enable / Disable Rules" heading.

Nope. It made a mess of a number of sites over my work connection. I can't use Privacy Badger either for the same reason.
I do run ABP (with a custom ruleset) and Disconnect; because both have always proven innocent when troubleshooting a site won't work problem. (Occasionally an over eager ABP rule is to blame; but that's on me not the plugin.)

I've changed CDNs again, and I've one last change to make (probably tomorrow).
How's the site behaving for you?

So you're all in safe hands then, network- and security-wise, right?
Wow.

The elephant droppings are getting deep here. At some point over the weekend I'm probably going to be throwing the project I started last weekend over the wall to unlock the Half-Baked Github Resume achievement.

If i correctly remember clicking on Home -> Ask Question, opens Question form screen but currently it opens Question list screen.

I've been a member for 12 and a bit years now, all on the same address - seems a bit late to need confirming!

It's a periodic confirmation to ensure you're still actively using that email address and still a user on this site. We all have to confirm every so often.

The new box has no code formatting options, so if the answer for that question is some code it very hard to read and follow...

I'm not sure the feature is being properly used at all, can't say I've seem a single question where it isn't either a copy-paste of the question or some form of "I've tried everything, please give me code". I get what the box is trying to do, to prompt people into thinking about their question in a more structured and logical manner, and helping to provide more useful info, but if people don't "get" it or are just poor question-askers in general then it's not adding much value in its current state.

To be assured, it not being used properly...There is a lot of confusion and it is hard to understand sometimes what OP meant...
However I saw a case when it looked like a valid step to put the code in the 'What have I tried' section...

If those seeking help aren't willing to put even a basic effort into posing a question that can be answered then we have two choices
1. Fix the question so it's answerable and makes sense
2. Delete the question
Questions should not simply be left to fester.
